Your tooth is cracked, heavily filled or giving trouble again, and you aren’t sure it’s worth saving. North End Winnipeg residents can weigh both paths at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
It is tempting to see an implant as a clean break from a tooth that keeps causing problems. Sometimes that thinking is sound. At other times, a root canal or crown might keep your own tooth working, and removing it would be an irreversible step you didn’t need to take.
So the real question isn’t simply whether you could have an implant, but what the tooth’s outlook is compared with what replacing it would involve. If you live in North End Winnipeg, a dentist at our clinic can examine the tooth, explain what they see, and set out the realistic options on each side.

Once a natural tooth is gone it can’t come back, so the decision deserves a careful look first.
A saved tooth and an implant can both need further care in later years, so compare them honestly.
Remaining structure, infection, gums and bone differ for every tooth, so general advice only goes so far.
Neither route is automatically the right one. Here is roughly what comes with each, to help you frame your discussion with the dentist.
Where enough sound tooth remains, treatment such as a root canal or a crown may be worth discussing.
If the tooth can’t reasonably be kept, removal can be planned with its replacement in mind, whether that is an implant or something else.
An implant may not be the replacement you end up choosing. Bridges and dentures can also be considered if the tooth does have to go.
If replacement is what you and the dentist settle on, implant care follows its usual stages. The first of these steps applies whichever way you lean.
Request your visitAn exam, along with any X-rays that are needed, helps show what is happening. You can then ask how long the tooth might reasonably be expected to serve.
If replacing it makes sense, records and imaging establish where the new tooth should go. Removal timing forms part of this plan.
Next comes surgical placement, with a graft if required. A healing period follows as bone forms around the implant under observation.
A connecting abutment and your restoration are added last. You then return for reviews of your bite and hygiene.
Past treatment gives important clues about the tooth’s future. Try to recall what has happened, when, and how it has behaved lately, even if your memory is only approximate.
Sudden swelling or severe pain shouldn’t wait for a planning visit. Call the clinic and explain what is going on.
A consultation room at our clinic.
Some people want a failing tooth gone tomorrow, and others can’t bear to lose it. Both reactions are normal. You can say which camp you are in, and ask for the time you need to think.
A plain question like, what would you expect from this tooth over time, can be more useful than any brochure.
A root canal and an implant are very different experiences. Ask how the appointments compare, so you’re picturing both.
Perhaps you most want to keep your tooth, or to stop treating it. Saying so helps focus the discussion.
Whichever you choose
Plaque doesn’t much care which option you picked. Around a natural tooth it can cause gum problems and decay, and around an implant it can still cost you gum health and bone, even though the implant itself won’t decay.
Continue to attend your check-ups, and let the clinic know whenever the tooth starts acting up again.
Watch for bleeding, drainage or a change in your bite, and raise any trouble cleaning around the new tooth.
Keep the area as clean as you comfortably can, and tell us about any change while you make up your mind.
Reach the clinic at (204) 338-3003 if a tooth or implant becomes an urgent concern.

Ask our teamAsk for a visit at Winnipeg North Dental, Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, either online or at (204) 338-3003. If the tooth is painful or swollen, please make it a phone call.
No general answer works here, because it depends on what remains of your tooth, your gums and bone, and your priorities. An examination lets the dentist compare the two for your situation.
It might be one option, but ask what else could be done first. The dentist can review the tooth and explain whether further treatment or removal would be more sensible.
It helps to think about replacement before removal where possible, as the two can affect each other. Tell the clinic that you’re interested in an implant before the tooth is taken out.
That depends on what is wrong with it. Get it examined so that you know whether it can reasonably wait, and call promptly about any swelling or significant pain.
